sHERIDAA'A KIDE.

The following 10 from Sheridan in
she Valley" by General Adam BAdesu,
In 50. Nicholas for June:
Sheridan bad Iefs Washington on the
morning Of Oct. 10, 1864, by train, and
passed the night as Winchester, twenty
miles north Of the battle field. On the
morning Of the 18th, be heard the firing
Of cannon, and sent out to inquire the
cause, but vas told il csms from q 70
oonnoissanes. At nine O'Clock be rode
leisurely out Of Winchester, not dream
ing that his army was in danger. After
q little. be heard again the sound OF
heavy Runs, and nov be knew What ID
must mean. Not half mile from Win
chester be came upOn the appalling
marks OF defeat and root. The Funa-
ways ffo1 the battle, still 10 flight, had
got 30 far as this In their terror. The
trains OF wagons were rushing by,
horses aAd drivers all in confusion, for
there is no worse tarmoil 10 this world
than the hiaht and wreck Of q beaten
aFmy. Sheridan had never seen bis own
men IN this condition before.
He at ohce ordered the trains to be
halted. and sent for brigade Of troops
from Winchester; these he posted across
the road TO prevent further straoeliAQ.
Then be lied for an escort Of twenty
men, and, directing bis STAFF TO stem the
torrent a. well as they could, he set OF
hiDseif for the battle field. He rode
straight into the thFoag Of fugitivss, in
q splendid passion Of wrath and deter
mination, squirting his hoTsa and swing
ing bis hat as be passed, and calling to
the men : Face the other Way, boysi
Face the other way!'
Hundreds turned at the appeal, and
followed him With cheers, for thsy ell
knew Sheridan.
Il vas ten o'clock Vhen be reashsd
the ssid. There be rode about hurried
ly, glanoea at the position. and 81 oncs
determined upon his course. He rear
ranged the lines Of thoss Who we're still

A recent English invention is q ma
chine for Kidding roads Of snow. 1t Is
constructed on the principle that snow in
cities can he dealt with on the spot on
which it falls, and while it is in light
and fleecy condition. The apparatus
consists OF a wrought iron tube about
thirty five feet long. having furnace at
one end. and 4 short length of vertical
pipe for a chimney at the ether: the tube
is made in lengths of six feet. and each
length is taIered. So that they all fit into
each other, and are closely packed for
transport ON wheels. When fall Of
snow occurs the apparatus is to be laid
along the cutters of the road or street to
la cleared, the width thus occupied 3e-
ing about four feet: fire is now to be
lighted in the furnace. the heat from
which will pass along the horizontal
tube, which has a fiatly arched top; on
the snow being now shoveled on to the
heated tube. melting. Of course, imme-
ately takes place. the resulting water
flowing away into the nearest gully
Experiments made with this machine
melted twenty one yards of consolidated
snow. weighing ten and one-haf tons.

A Much Abused Word,

In last weeks papers l read that q
milk contractor claims" that the milk
is not old when delivered: a wounded
man .'claims" that he does not know
how he received his wound; pilot
claims that the towboat was in fault
a correspondent claims" that a state
ment is exaggerated, and lit is claimed"
that the driver of horse car struck Mr..
Murraw a blow, which, etc. In short,
no one in these days seems to be willing
to say, or assert. or declare. or affirm, or
in,ist upon anything. The public at large
seems to he claiming everything. and all
the reporters. and even the editors, have
apparently become claim agents. To
claim means to demand. to ask as a right.
but i'll every one of the above instances,
quoted at random from daily papers
under my hand, the word is used in an
entirely different sense. 4 meaning is
given to it that does not belong TO it. and
every one Of the statements. if taken lit
orally. is absuri.-The Writer.

CHINESE DREAD OF THE WET.

They Wear Cloth Shoes and Always Go
In When II Rains.
In western lands il is proverbial say
ing of one who is peculiarly stupid that
he does not .'know enough to 60 in when
it rains" In China. on the contrary.
the SAYING would be altered so rs to read:
He does not know enough to stay in
when it rains, and to a Chinese the idea
that human being has any functions
which can he harmonized with the rapid
precipitation Of moisture can only be in
trodmced by trepannins. They truly saw
Of the streets and the people IN them;
when wind blows. one-half: rain fall,
none at ALL" As the Chinese, in their
way, are particularly practical people
none less 50 than the Anglo-Saxon, though
less energetic-there must be some good
reason for their persistent refusal for CEN
turtles TO encounter rain.
OF the fact there can be no manner Of
doubt. The Tientsin massacre Of 1860
might hare been quadrupled in atrocity
but for timely rain. which deferred
the rowdies already on their way to
the settlement. A portable shower
would be one of the most perfect
defenses a traveller in the hostile Sec
tions Of China could desire. We ara
confident that steady stream of COLI
water, delivered from two-inch nozzle.
would disperse the most violent mob espr
seen BY foreigner in China, in FIVE min
utes Of solar time. Grapeshot would be
much less effectual. for many would stop
to gather up the spent shot, while cold
water Is something for which every Chi
nese, from the Han dynasty downward.
entertains the same aversion a a cat.
Externally or internally administered. he
regards il As alike fatal.
The remote causes Of their deep seated
antipathy 10 wet weather lie imbedded in
the Chinese constitution. but the proxi-
mate causes, in our view. are twofold-
the porosity Of cotton cloth and the abso-
lutte scarcity Of dirt. To our readers
these reasons will. no doubt, appear in
adequate, not to say frivolous; but this.
We believe. ID because they have not re-
fected profoundly on the subject. Why
the Chinese should persist in wearing
cloth shoes We do not pretend to say. but
wear them they certainly do. Damp feet
are not only uncomfortable. they are
dangerous to health. Oiled boots are
luxuries for the few. and, in seven cases
out Of eight, he who goes abroad when it
rains will do it in cotton cloth shoes,
which will be ruined. He has no light
sandals. He never washes his feet
Hence it ID easier and more philosophical
to stay at home-which he does.-Tient-
